Public bug reported: Whenever I start "soffice" (by typing "soffice", by clicking on the "LibreOffice Writer" icon, or double-clicking on a file and choosing "Open with Libre Office writer"), I see the splash screen, and my entire session locks up. Not even the clock in the upper right hand corner of Unity gets updated.
The only I can get anything back is to Ctrl-Alt-F1 and "pkill -9 gnome- session", then login again. + lsb_release -a LSB Version: core-2.0-amd64:core-2.0-noarch:core-3.0-amd64:core-3.0-noarch:core-3.1-amd64:core-3.1-noarch:core-3.2-amd64:core-3.2-noarch:core-4.0-amd64:core-4.0-noarch Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS Release: 12.04 Codename: precise + dpkg -l libreoffice-common Desired=Unknown/Install/Remove/Purge/Hold | Status=Not/Inst/Conf-files/Unpacked/halF-conf/Half-inst/trig-aWait/Trig-pend |/ Err?=(none)/Reinst-required (Status,Err: uppercase=bad) ||/ Name Version Description +++-===============================-===============================-============================================================================== ii libreoffice-common 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- arch-independent files + apt-cache policy libreoffice-common libreoffice-common: Installed: 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 Candidate: 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 Version table: *** 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-updates/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 1:3.5.4-0ubuntu1.1 0 500 http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise-security/main amd64 Packages 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main amd64 Packages + chage -l walt Last password change : Feb 23, 2013 Password expires : Mar 28, 2013 Password inactive : never Account expires : never Minimum number of days between password change : 0 Maximum number of days between password change : 33 Number of days of warning before password expires : 7 + exit 0 walt@aardvark:~(0)$ dpkg -l libreoffice\* | egrep '^ii' ii libreoffice 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite ii libreoffice-base 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- database ii libreoffice-base-core 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- shared library ii libreoffice-calc 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- spreadsheet ii libreoffice-common 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- arch-independent files ii libreoffice-core 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- arch-dependent files ii libreoffice-dev 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- SDK ii libreoffice-dev-doc 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- SDK documentation ii libreoffice-draw 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- drawing ii libreoffice-emailmerge 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- email mail merge ii libreoffice-evolution 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- Evolution addressbook support ii libreoffice-filter-binfilter 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- legacy filters (e.g. StarOffice 5.2) ii libreoffice-filter-mobiledev 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- mobile devices filters ii libreoffice-gnome 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- GNOME integration ii libreoffice-gtk 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- GTK+ integration ii libreoffice-help-en-us 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- English_american help ii libreoffice-impress 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- presentation ii libreoffice-java-common 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- arch-independent Java support files ii libreoffice-kde 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- KDE integration ii libreoffice-math 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- equation editor ii libreoffice-officebean 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- Java bean ii libreoffice-style-human 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- Human symbol style ii libreoffice-style-oxygen 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- Oxygen symbol style ii libreoffice-style-tango 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- Tango symbol style ii libreoffice-writer 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 office productivity suite -- word processor ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: libreoffice-common 1:3.5.7-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-39.62-generic 3.2.39 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-39-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu17.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Thu Mar 21 01:37:10 2013 EcryptfsInUse: Yes InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS "Precise Pangolin" - Release amd64 (20120425) MarkForUpload: True PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: libreoffice UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) ** Affects: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: amd64 apport-bug precise running-unity -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1158132 Title: soffice locks up Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Whenever I start "soffice" (by typing "soffice", by clicking on the "LibreOffice Writer" icon, or double-clicking on a file and choosing "Open with Libre Office writer"), I see the splash screen, and my entire session locks up.
